    WICKETpublished at 90 balls

    Carey c Heath b Armitage 19 (Fire 101-5)

    A full toss but Nicola Carey picks out the fielder on the leg-side boundary.

    Hollie Armitage's gamble pays off as she takes the wicket of big-hitting Carey. The Australian falls for 19 off 13.

    Brilliant running from Carey. Didn't quite connect that shot like she wanted but its 100 up for the Welsh Fire now.

  4. Fire 101-4published at 89 balls

    A single and a two brings up the Fire's hundred with 11 balls to go.

  5. Fire 98-4published at 87 balls

    A single from Carey. The Superchargers breathe a sigh of relief.

    An incredible shot from Carey and gives it a bit of imputes going into the last 15 balls.

  7. Fire 97-4published at 86 balls

    And another switch-hit from Carey for four.

    If it ain't broke...

    Skipper Hollie Armitage, who hasn't bowled yet today, brings herself into the attack with 15 balls to go.

  9. Fire 93-4published at 85 balls

    Carey 12, Sutherland 18

    Same shot and same result; four runs.

    The acceleration has started.

  10. Fire 89-4published at 84 balls

    That's more like it. Nicola Carey gets down on one knee and reverse-slog-sweeps Katie Levick for four.

  11. Fire 85-4published at 83 balls

    One run from the next three balls.

    Something's got to give.

  12. Fire 84-4published at 80 balls

    Sutherland 17, Carey 4

    And still the Fire can't find the gaps. Two more singles finish Graham's latest set.

    Welsh Fire need to look at a way of getting a competitive score on the board now.

  14. Fire 82-4published at 78 balls

    Three more singles from Heather Graham's latest three balls.

    The Fire need do be dealing in boundaries now.

    130 runs would have been a good score but losing the key wickets it would peg it back a bit. I think they will be looking at 120 runs now.

    The last boundary came on ball 63.

    Sutherland holds the key. She's a very clean striker and is able to hit the boundaries which have been hard to come by for the Welsh Fire.

  19. Fire 79-4published at 75 balls

    Two dots and a single from new batter Nicola Carey finish off Jenny Gunn's set.

    The Superchargers are well on top and are bringing the squeeze.

    Another wicket falls.

    Great strike and straight back at the baller.
